Thoroughly impressed. Glad to see it's not a crappy hack port type app. It runs like glass on my G5 and I haven't found any weird things or bugs yet. Super cool app.

iMac: Peeing pants. Must buy…on way to store now… PowerBook: Gulp. Suddenly my co-worker's 17" PB ain't looking so hot. And to think I was anticipating Intel Minis and iBooks (borrriiiing!).

That makes a lot of sense. I agree with that. The only problem with this premise is that Apple has been planning for Intel for at least five years. I think it's clear that Apple wanted to make sure they could take advantage of whatever the best technology was (be it pure performance, price...

Points one and two are exactly why most everyone is predicting the Mini and iBooks to be first on the slate. One of the reasons being that the audience for those machines are not going to be hypercritcal about speed issues. Those audiences are essentically "I want a cheap Mac" and "I want a...

With Flash becoming more and more dominant, it's a reasonable decision for Google to go with .flv. Originally I was very irritated with Macromedia's implementation of video. I thought it further confused the hell of video codecs. As a developer, this mess makes my life difficult. Plus, it...

Extensis has confirmed they will release the latest greatest font manager this month. Apparently Extensis is not promoting on their website yet, but I got a direct email from them on it a couple of weeks ago.

If you don't "need" it right now, you absolutely have to wait two days.

The only way I see the laptop names changing is if they start doing like Intel with "Centrino", which is really a collection of technologies. PowerBook and iBook as names are great for distinguishing the Pro end from the Consumer end, but one could make the argument that a "Centrino" approach...

I was about to berate you idiots and give you a lesson in marketing/advertising/branding 101 until I realized I was reading the link's forums and not macosx.com. It sounds like you guys get it. There is no longer a reason to say "inside". "Intel" alone has successful brand recognition. "Leap...

I'm not sold on the mini. It's not currently a powerful enough machine to be suitable for much of anything. I mean, I wouldn't even want to manage an iPhoto library on it. To be fair, I'm only basing this on my few minutes of playing at the Apple store coupled with comparisons to my similarly...

From Corel's site: Can I purchase a Macintosh® version? Corel's market data indicates that more than 95 per cent of CorelDRAW customers are using the Windows platform. As a result, we will be releasing CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 for Windows only. ------------ Here's a dumb question...

I haven't used any of these tools, but from the sounds of it they basically just delay the render and do something like pre-cache the info so it "pops" on screen faster. Is this correct? If so, that's obviously just an illusion. It doesn't change the fact that from the time you hit enter for...

Aperture is clearly aimed at professional photographers with very specific needs. If you watch the demo videos, that's a world that most of us (even in the creative industry) simply don't live in. Aperture is very different from Photoshop, though I still stand by my initial claim that...

I'd be really surprised if CS3 were around already given how fresh CS2 is. I'd say at LEAST another six months before Adobe crams in some questionable "features" into their bloatware. Sorry, did that sound sarcastic? I live and die with Adobe, so I love their apps overall, I just think the last...

Adobe's president was on record as saying that the port (for Adobe's software) will take quite a while. He hinted that they would need every bit of the nearly two years to convert. Prepare to run Adobe apps under Rosetta until at least 2007. Course, don't ask me to dig up where I saw that. :) I...

Personally, with the next expo so close, I don't see how anybody would buy anything right now (especially a laptop). If the expo comes and you don't like what you see, you'll be able to find a G4 laptop somewhere. And if the expo delivers something really worthwhile, that's a good thing. It...

Interesting. We run Suitcase on a few Macs here (couple of dual G4s and one Dual G5) and it runs decent. A bit of a delay when activating fonts, but not too bad. Guess it's all relative. Could definitely be zippier though. What really sucks though is that I've waited for quite a while for...

Seems like a perfectly reasonable option for that product and market.

The early FCP reviews were excellent actually. Image quality in general for FCP isn't so much an FCP thing as it is a codec thing. DV is DV. However, the way FCP handles (handled) the post processing, color space, scaling in particular was not as good in FCP 1 as it is now. Course, I say DV...

Just when I thought the legal wars couldn't get any stupider.
